What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a full-stack developer role where I can contribute to meaningful projects while continuing to grow my technical skills. I'm particularly interested in positions that involve React/React Native development, backend API design, and database optimization. I value collaborative environments, mentorship opportunities, and companies that prioritize code quality and user experience.

I'm a passionate full-stack developer currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Moi University (graduating December 2026). With over a year of professional experience at Beren startup, I've contributed to building and maintaining web and mobile applications using modern technologies like React, React Native, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.

My notable achievements include being part of the core development team for RentHub, a multi-platform application deployed on Google Play Store with 1,000+ downloads. I've also contributed to Kazi Hub, a mobile-first job marketplace currently in pre-release.

As a TechRise Bootcamp graduate and active Class Representative, I combine technical expertise with leadership skills. I'm proficient in agile methodologies, have experience with database design (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), and am comfortable working in cross-functional teams. I'm passionate about creating user-centered applications and continuously learning emerging technologies.
